Colombo, April 28 (Daily Mirror) - A man in Mullaitivu District claimed to be the tallest person in Sri Lanka.

According to BBC Sinhala Service, Gunasingham Kasenthiran, a former cadre of the proscribed Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who lives in Kaiveli, Puthukudiruppu is seven feet two inches tall.

He laments that he has to face numerous problems due to his abnormal height. Nowhere in Sri Lanka could he find footwear that matches the length of his feet and he has been forced to get them from foreign countries, he states.

Kasenthiran who is the father of two children says that he cannot travel in a bus unless he gets a seat in it and he is forced to make a prior booking for a seat if he travels in a long distance bus.

A trishaw driver by profession, Kasenthiran has to drive his vehicle bending his neck.

His height is god given, what karma has to do with his height? You are such a dumb.

Such pervert comment. I am sure you are one of those " straight masculine" sexist morons abusing their wifes and calling the LGBT community perverts.

He can easily find a good job. Maybe the film industry can employ him, like "JAWS" in the Bond films.

Grace Monday, 29 April 2024 04:09 PM

I hope he will be employed by a reputed hotel as a Doorman. Tourists, especially children will be pleased to enjoy the sight of him.

Short man Monday, 29 April 2024 06:02 PM

Very pleased to see his photograph. Yes, if it’s more autonomy in the North and East or two separate states in one country , he can do very well in all aspects of his life.
